I can see it getting better (like google maps did) but what were they thinking. I know pushing out google might seem like a smart move but in reality it has ruined a perfectly functional feature. I used to use google maps all the time on my phone (obviously not since the update). I barely touch the new maps thing because it is awful. Apple are playing catch up but do I really want to have this bad feature for x amount of years. not really. Also what i find annoying is the inability to delete apple pre loaded stuff. I have two folders filled with stuff I do not use just sitting their on my phone.

There's a map app called "Waze". It's pretty good and has a type of mini game built in where it keeps track of how much you drive and you level up if you beat other drivers around you. Plus has a social function where other users can report traffic, accidents, cops radaring, and other stuff.
